Cheap Flights to Newlands from HK$5,542

We've rounded up all the info you need to make your journey a stress-free experience. Follow our tips and you'll be cruising through airport security and exploring Newlands before you know it. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First and foremost, put in your passport, travel docs, wallet and daily medications. Next, you'll want some in-flight entertainment to while away the time. A juicy book and a phone crammed with your favourite movies are some great options. If you plan to catch a few z's, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of noise-cancelling headphones will also come in handy. Finally, make room for a toothbrush and some cleansing wipes to ensure you touchdown feeling fresh and ready to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Squeeze all your full-sized bottles of hair gel and hairspray in your checked luggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) will be confiscated by security. Sharp objects, like your beloved pocket knife, and dangerous goods which are explosive or flammable, such as spray paint, flares and strong acids, are also not allowed.

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of an airplane aren't the place for a fashion parade. Layer up with comfy clothing and choose shoes that are flat and easy to take on and off.
• The result of prolonged periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect passengers during long-distance flights. Lower your risks by staying hydrated, keeping your lower limbs moving and wearing compression socks or tights.

The trick is to be organised before you get to airport security. That way, you'll be stepping onto that plane to Newlands in a flash. Follow these tips and get your trip off to a fantastic start:

• First things first. Your travel ID and boarding pass will need to be inspected by airport security. Have them easily accessible to avoid fumbling around for them.
• The X-ray machine comes next. Remove anything metal on you that is likely to set off the alarm. This includes items like headphones or earphones, as well as heavy jackets or coats. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
• For just a few minutes, you'll need to unplug from the digital world. Your tablet, phone and any other electronic gadgets will also need to go through the scanner.
• Any liquids or gels, such as perfume or toothpaste, that you want to take on board need to be in containers no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres). They must also all fit inside a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-lock bag.
• Slip-on shoes are a sensible footwear choice as you're less likely to be asked to remove them when passing through security. Boots and other heavy shoes are usually subjected to extra screening.
• Sharp or pointed items are not allowed in the cabin. They'll be seized at security, so put them in your checked suitcase.
